For test<strong>in</strong>g, I( 0 ) is replaced by<br />

Î = I ³ θ 10 ˆθ 2´<br />

or Î = −<br />

¨ 1 ³<br />

θ10 ˆθ 2´<br />

<br />

<br />

We could <strong>in</strong>stead use the ‘restricted’ MLE<br />

µθ 10 ˆθ 2<br />

computed assum<strong>in</strong>g to be true:<br />

³<br />

ˆθ 2 =argmax θ10 θ 2´<br />

<br />

For confidence regions use Î 11 ,withÎ = I ³ˆθ ´<br />

or − 1 ¨ <br />

³ˆθ ´. Occasionally useful is the identity<br />

= I11 − I 12 I −1<br />

• Likelihood ratio test: Let ˆθ = ³ˆθ 1 be the ‘unrestricted’<br />
